C / C++ / MFC

1. An abstract class defining the functions a plugin has to implement (important: define the destructor as virtual.)
2. A common "creation point" all DLLs are supposed to provide accessed with GetProcAddress, just like this:

   typedef CPluginInterface * (WINAPI * PLUGIN_CREATOR)();
   ...
   PLUGIN_CREATOR * plugin_creator=(PLUGIN_CREATOR *)GetProcAddress(hPluginDll,"Creator");
   CPluginInterface *plugin=plugin_creator();
   ... // use the plugin
   delete plugin;

   Internally, creator functions just create plugins with new.
